Abstract
The GGT/ALT of patients with AKI was significantly higher than those without it. Evaluation of GGT/ALT before surgery can be a helpful predictive tool for postoperative AKI in hepatitis B- or C- associated HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy, particularly in patients with BCLC stage 0 or A staged HCC. Hepatitis B- or C- associated HCC patients with low ALT especially within the normal range may have a high risk of AKI. However, the reason remains to be elucidated.
